Those About to Die

Rome, 79 A.D.: The population—bored, restless, and increasingly violent—is kept in line by two things: free food and spectacular entertainment. As the taste in entertainment becomes more jaded and bloodthirsty, a stadium designed for gladiatorial combat is needed - the Colosseum. Underground, thousands of people work and live—among them thousands who will die for the games.
